Setting Surface Controls; Single Radiant Elements And Induction Zones - Frigidaire Professional FPCF3091LF User & Care Manual

Setting radiant elements and induction zones
Start most cooking operations on a higher setting and then
set to a lower setting to finish cooking. Suggested power
level settings are shown in Fig. 1. The suggested settings
may vary slightly depending on the pan material type and
amount of food being prepared.
For induction cooking be sure to use cookware that is
constructed with magnetic base material and meets the
minimum and maximum pan size requirements.

SETTING SURFACE CONTROLS

To operate single radiant element or induction zone:
Step
1. Place correctly sized cookware on
radiant element or cooking zone.
2. Activate the element or zone.
Press and hold the on-off
for the desired position
until a tone sounds.
3. Set the power level.
Press lo, med (5.0) or hi.
Each touch of the lo or hi pad will
decrease or increase the power
level by .5 increments from 9.5
through 3.0. Simmer power levels
between 3.0 and 1.2 will decrease
or increase by .2 increments.
lo is the lowest power level available.

CAUTION
• Radiant surface elements may appear to have cooled
after they have been turned off. The glass surface
may still be hot and burns may occur if the glass
surface is touched before it has cooled sufficiently.
• Unlike radiant surface elements, the induction zones
will not glow red when they are hot. The glass
surface may be hot from residual heat transferred
from the cookware and burns may occur.
• Do not touch hot cookware or pans directly with
hands. Always use oven mitts or pot holders to protect
hands from burns.
• Do not place flammable items such as plastic salt
and pepper shakers, spoon holders or plastic
wrappings on top of the range when it is in use. These
items could melt or ignite. Potholders, towels or
wooden spoons could catch fire if placed too close to
the surface elements.
